Call me crazy . . .

Last week, during all the crazy rain, I heard that "This is the Place Monument" (a museum/park that is a replica of how things were when the pioneers first settled in Utah) was free to the Public on Thurs. So, I called up my sister in law and asked her if she wanted to take the kids. We decided to go, even though it had been rainy on and off all week and even that morning. Well, it was pretty clear on the way there, and then it started to pour right when we got there! At this point, we were already there, and the kids were excited to be getting outside and using their little character umbrellas, so we stayed! It was very wet and quite the adventure, but the kids didn't seem to mind the rain or the cold at all. Over all it was fun, although I did think to myself that I was crazy a few times that day! One of the times was when Ambree slipped and fell in the mud. She was soaked and wet and I didn't have an extra pair of pants with me, luckily my sister in law had an extra pair for her little boy, and lent them to us! Another time was when we were waiting in line to ride the ponies and it was pouring rain. We were standing in a combination of mud, hay and maybe a little manure and it was really cold. Luckily the ponies were under a shelter, which gave us shelter for a few minutes.

Here are Cade and Ambree on the ZCMI wagon . . .

Cade and Ambree were pretty fascinated by the drinking fountain coming out of a big barrel . . .

A train ride . . . we are finally out of the rain!
Jacob, Leila, Danielle, and Ambree . . . Just a little wet.

Even though it was cold and rainy, we had to get our free ice cream cones, which the kids enjoyed very much!

There were a lot more things I wanted to see and do, but it was just too hard in the rain. Hopefully we can go again soon when the weather is a little more cooperative! :)
